Thermal baths, extraordinary ruin bars and one of Europe's most underrated food cultures.
Hungary punches significantly above its weight for a budget destination. Budapest has 119 thermal bath establishments fed by natural hot springs, a ruin bar scene that has transformed a derelict neighbourhood into one of Europe's great nightlife destinations, and a Parliament building that is the most dramatic on the continent. Excellent value throughout.
